This would add a lot of crap to parent pom for something that we won't use. So there
won't be some profiles for unsupported stuff.
-DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION is easy to remember as well, and in case you forget it, feel
free to ask.
I'm sorry but TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION is not easy to remember nor is it nice to type.
All other user properties in maven is not uppercase and a mile long ;)

That's something we are investigating as part of
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13316 . But this is not our highest priority yet. If
we remove the "-SNAPSHOT", we'll probably drop the Alpha1/Final qualifier as
well.
I think this *is* high priority.
Without it we don't have the option of building a component with a stable parent pom.
If it stays -SNAPSHOT we still have to rebuild the component again and again since the
parent is always moving.
